Tuning = drop D (D A D G B e)
*I'm not totally sure about the tuning. I play it in drop D, but somewhere
in the song there's a little riff that also goes to a drop A tuned string.
Maybe one of the guitars is tuned to drop A and the other to drop D...
I really don't know. I'm pretty sure the bassguitar is tuned to drop A but
sometimes the guitars do that too.
